Soarin’ Across America to replace Soarin’ Around the World for Nation’s 250th Birthday

[AidenRodriguez731]

Feels like even though the other parks are getting the big additions, Epcot is having the budget to continue the smaller changes. Full new Test Track, new Soarin’, and improvements to Remys and Frozen all pretty fast. I do wish some of the other parks could get these updates especially with the screen attractions. Tron Ares should be a permanent Halloween offering imo, Space Mountain could get its update, Update Philharmagic to get some randomized scenes (stretch but it could be so fun) If we get a few years in the interim of Disney updating all of their attractions like this, I would be very pleased

A very similar attraction exists in Pigeon Forge as Soar America from the same manufacturer, Dynamic Attractions. Disney will likely have different scenes, but if you'd like an idea what Soar America looks like I'll drop a video below. It's from a national parks perspective so presumably Disney will include a broader view.

…I wish…

So do tell your opinion…I’d love to hear it.

And then when that goes off the rails we can get back to talking about the systematic dismantling of interest in Star Wars some more …

My opinion of what? Best skyline? Or this overlay?

The skyline of America is NYC. There's no way they put anything but that.

This attraction? I'd like it a lot more if the country was in a different situation.

Love this.

Also a great spiritual successor to the America The Beautiful Circle-Vision show.

Meanwhile while Soarin over New Jersey…

Are you sure that “breathtaking” location isn’t somewhere in or near Houston in my great home state of Texas…?!?!?!

More excellent scenery from Soarin over New Jersey!

More NJ splendor to be enjoyed.

So many smaller scale projects announced post D23
Anim Court, Muppets RNRC, Frozen AA's, Rat, Soarin, CoP

I imagine this trend will continue until next year's expo, which is very exciting
A great time for WDW

Did you mean Soarin over New Jersey...?

The real question is: how many “parts” are there To a place you can go from end to end in about 2 hours flat (if you move with the flow of traffic)?

I was gonna clip this and you beat me to it…




Seriously though…is that Puffy’s house? You can see where he keeps the baby oil out back…

…too soon?


……too real?

I hope that they use the original Jerry Goldsmith score at least. Everything about Soarin’ Over The World was a disappointment.

Extra bonus points if we get to soar over Bob and Josh’s houses to see how they are spending the money they charge us more of each year

Only if you are coming at it from
Right off the battery and over to maybe Liberty island?

Any other approach New York is a bit of a mess

The “down town” is spread out over tens of miles…mostly because scrapers could only be built near the bototm
Of Manhattan and then in the pocket around midtown…due to rock formations

So it doesn’t “look” like a vista kinda city from the west, east and north

It's a nice attraction! Mall of America also has a similar attraction - I'm assuming it's likely also from the same manufacturer.

I’m imagining the finale will be set over Main Street USA at Disneyland and Epcot as a whole but focus on the American adventure

I would expect it to be similar to the two versions they’ve already had…the central icons are used for a reason

Still, I think they’ll take their time over the American sections of the park. And maybe the fireworks will be red, white, and blue

 

[wdwgreek]

Because it was okay when it was a single state (not even the one this edition of the ride is located in), but make it the whole country and bad Epcot?

Soarin over California never was a thematic fit for Epcot. Soarin around the world matches the mission of the park much better although it is an inferior film to the California version.

They really don’t have “American sections”…per se…

Main Street still qualifies I guess

The other most “Americana” section in Orlando is behind a construction wall with bulldozers…currently

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Mall of America already did this.

Except the fact we fly into space at the end and destroy's us all while riding due to the oxygen level..

Plus they have one for Hawaii as well..

Isn't it sad that EVERYTHING, it seems, must be controversial nowadays? I would have thought "let's look at many of the beautiful natural settings in America to celebrate her 250th" would have been acceptable by everyone, but somehow I was wrong. I do not envy the WDI team tasked with choosing locations to film. I would personally avoid cities other than D.C. We have more than enough disparate biomes to fill 4 minutes.
